history have produced dramatic shifts in human behaviour, the industrialized
nature of modern war possesses a material and psychological intensity that
embodies the extremes of our behaviours, from the total economic mobilization

and the character of modern technological warfare is such that it simultaneously
creates and destroys more than any previous kind of conflict.
